There is virtually no slop (which was occurring pretty often @ this point)

Cities has got the laid back space funkGumbo goes to the moon and backBOTT has got to be the best version ever (I'd take it over Nassau 03)Twist takes you on a laid back, psychedelic trip and is my second fav. version ever (only to Island Tour)The Fukuoka Jam is some of the trippiest, funkiest pure Phish improve out there.

Pretty darn solid versions of Carini, SOAM, and 2001 as well imo.

well said, I too love Fukuoka and Japan 00.

I enjoy particularly Caravan's tour narrative of Japan 00. The delight of seeing Phish in another culture, kudos.

is there an example of some slop? sorry for the lame question.

I dunno. There are moments but I did a lot of that summer tour (TO, Star, Creek, Polaris....) and heard tight playing night after night. I would look to the fall run of 2000 for the sloppy playing that WTU is speaking of but there are still a couple tight numbers in there that are not to be discarded (9-14). Personally, I really enjoyed summer 2000 but I think that is because I like to dance and IMO summer 2000 was really dancy.........so sue me.

I'll give you a prime example of slop. Trey forgetting the words to Esther in Vegas. And the night before they had Kid Rock as a guest. I was not amused.

love that Esther flub.

The flub actually came earlier, when someone decided to film something in Las Vegas and then later release said video, violating the motto

I totally agree...summer 2000 was tits...the majority of shows were solid w/ a few nice bustouts & some big jams...some of my faves were 6/24/00...6/28/00...6/29/00...7/3/00...7/4/00...7/6/00, & 7/12/00
